Kristin Leismann

Kristin Leismann is a Researcher at the Chair of Communication and Extension in Agricultural, Nutritional and Environmental Sciences at Justus Liebig University Giessen since 2017. Her work bridges sociological theory with applied sustainability research, focusing on media-driven nutritional behavior and collaborative consumption models.

• Studied Sociology (Diplom) with minors in Psychology and European Ethnology at Philipps-Universität Marburg and Nancy II, France.

Her research employs practice-theoretical approaches to analyze how social media shapes daily nutritional actions. This intersects with broader themes of nutritional awareness and the role of media in constructing sustainable consumption patterns. She has contributed to projects on resource-efficient supply chains, living lab infrastructures, and educational frameworks for sustainability.

Her publications highlight trends in collaborative consumption, resource-saving practices, and interdisciplinary sustainability strategies. These works span collaborations with institutions like the Wuppertal Institute and Heinrich Böll Stiftung.
